"I've been training under the guidance of James for a few months now, and the results speak volumes. Not only have I noticed a significant improvement in muscle definition, but my confidence in both my abilities and overall stamina has skyrocketed. James is an exceptional instructor, adept at leading both newcomers to the world of working out and ji jitsu, as well as seasoned veterans. His expertise seems limitless, and his passion for what he does is evident in every session. Whether you're looking to better yourself physically or simply seeking a new and enjoyable workout routine, I highly recommend James and this gym. You won't be disappointed!"
Caitlin Billesimo
"I was nervous to try something new, but I must say I am thoroughly enjoying these classes. James is very knowledgeable in this sport and you can see his passion during his teachings. James has been very patient when teaching which is great because I am able to make sure I am performing correctly. Highly recommend this gym."
Carmen Spaulding
"I have the privilege of working with professor James & he is very knowledgeable in the craft of BJJ. As a woman I was very apprehensive in beginning my journey in BJJ because I saw it as a man's sport. I'm glad I have the opportunity to work with him. I feel comfortable and confident learning with him and others. It really has become a second family environment. If you too are apprehensive in trying something new, let this be the sign to start."
Maia Johnston
"What a great experience! My 1st time trying jiu-jitsu, I was looking for a fun way to work out because I get bored so easily with other workouts. As a beginner, I didn't know what to expect, but James was patient (even though I was super uncoordinated!) and I feel confident in my ability to learn this."
